Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome all the witnesses here.
Please forgive me in advance. I'm also on the public accounts committee, and I feel like all my committees are starting to melt together. It would have been great to have this before we had the President of the Treasury Board before us in one of my other committees.
In the report on supplementary estimates (B), the PBO notes:
As of the publication of this report, there is currently no public document published by the Government which provides a complete list of all measures announced to date, or updated cost estimates. There is also no consistency to which organizations publicly report on the implementation of these measures. Some organizations have proactively published this data, while others have not.
The Treasury Board claimed on the 4th that “the GC InfoBase...contains all the detailed...information”. How do you think the Treasury Board Secretariat should increase the amount of information on COVID-19-related measures presented in these estimate documents?
